1026 Begin! (1/2)

Four bestial overseers roamed the mountains of the Residence of Nine Supremes. The overlord aura that flowed from them unnerved the disciples.

Faced with such immense pressure, the cultivation effect was actually better than previously as all the disciples actually cultivated better under it.

”It's been fifteen days.”

Dong Qitian passed about a dozen of jade bottles to Yun Yang expressionlessly.

”Be careful when you use them. I'm warning you for the last time, the success rate of consuming the Emerald Cloud Pill and advancing is twenty percent at most!”

”The risks involved… I hope that you can consider it for these children.”

”I know, I know!”

Yun Yang received the bottled gleefully.

Whether the Residence of Nine Supremes could rise like a dragon this time all depended on these bottles of medicinal pills! This batch of pill refinement actually depleted more than three million upper-class spiritual jade pieces worth of heaven and earth treasures.

Upon carefully checking the cultivation base of all the pupils, Yun Yang ordered, ”All disciples are to gather at the Central Peak's hall in the night, one day hence!”

At this point in time, the cultivation of every disciple in the Residence of Nine Supremes had come to Heaven Mystic and above. It was an appropriate time to promote their level like an arrow from a bow.

”Emmie, get yourself ready. It's your show time after this, to weave another miracle belonging to the Residence of Nine Supremes!”

…

A day later, all high-level executives of the residence were assembled, including Dong Qitian, who was usually elusive.

In fact, other than the top brass in the Residence of Nine Supremes, not a handful among the children had seen Dong Qitian's actual person despite knowing that they had a masterly expert in the school. After all, Dong Qitian had intended to leave the sect at any point after he fulfilled his terms, so he kept himself from making too many bonds.

Bonding with the Residence of Nine Supremes' younger disciples meant planting seeds of causes and effects. To a superbly skilled cultivator like Dong Qitian, one's biggest taboo was to make additional karma. No matter how envious and admiring he was towards the younger generation of the residence's protégés, he was reluctant to simply make such a bond.

Old Sir Dong had revealed himself in front of everyone today, then, mainly because he knew about the purpose of this assembly, to enhance the children's cultivation base by consuming five types of medicinal pills, including the Emerald Cloud Pill. Having a veteran like Dong Qitian around could, of course, allow an earlier notice of disciples who reacted negatively during the pill consumption and, thus, an earlier rescue could be affected.

Dong Qitian estimated that he could add another five percent of success to the twenty percent he had evaluated earlier now that he was helping. The old man genuinely felt sorry for these prodigious children of the residence; he was doing his best, hoping to save as many children as he could!

Perhaps Dong Qitian did not realize it himself. He was regarding these juniors more now, sympathizing and being fond of them. It was already a deviation from his initial objective of completely not wanting to build any ties.

Currently, all seventy-five first-generation disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes stood confidently behind their masters in anticipation. Each of them was guessing the reason the Lead Supreme had summoned the full assembly. Had anything huge happened? Perhaps… they were about to depart to the Celestial Luck Banner competition venue now?

A moment later, Yun Yang slowly stepped out from the Central Peak's hall, wearing his usual smile.
